Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Any tips on working the wrists? I do wrist curls and reverse wrist curls. I'm working a bulking diet in as well. It seems difficult to bulk the wrist area.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Work the rest of your body. Wrists are small muscles which WILL grow as you increase your total body mass.

back + legs + chest = wrists.

I NEVER trained my wrists specifically, I just did squats and stuff.

They're 16 inches now, all by themselves.

16 inch wrists? Yeah right. I assume you mean forearms, and I'm still not going to believe it. I know arm wrestlers that don't have 16 inch forearms.
To the original poster, you can't work your wrists because they are JOINTS. Be glad you have small wrists, it makes everything else look bigger.

Fore arms? 16"? May I say Popeye!

I do cable wrist curls for my forearms. They're Killer.

Some people say you don't need it because your forearms are worked when you grip bars for other exercises. But I noticed mine could be "balanced" out a little...

Stay away from wrist straps. It defeats the purpose...

Yep, forearms.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Something I didn't mention above, I work on a PC all day. Some times my wrists hurts from all that typing.

A good wrist/forearm work out makes them feel so much better...

Ice Cold I just went down the hall and measured a guy's forearm that's been armwrestling and working out for years. He had a 13.5. I just measured mine and I have an 11. If you have a legit 16 that's massive.

The thing that sux is that I have 17 inches biceps, so while the actual size is ok, they look kinda small with my popeye wrists.

I don't think I'll ever be able to get them past 18 inches, and I need like 20-22 to be proportional. :p
